My Project

Paper and pencils will help students write notes. The items help the students work out problems (the calculators). The goal of this project is to help students get mastery and advance as 8th grade students. My students are special because they want to know and understand math but a lot of it gets really confusing. I totally understand as math is difficult for me when it comes to graphing equations and combining equations that have variables. I thank you advance for helping them get their dreams met. Thank you so much!
